I have shot three pellets out of it, but the accuracy was terrible and the recoil was too much for my liking. I have found that the rifle for some reason likes 90 grains of loose powder. That's hardly a magnum charge or anything compared to the kind of loads you shoot.

So it's considered a magnum ML because it's a 3 pellet ML? Okay, that makes sense. I have never got three pellets to work in any Knight Rifle. I never tried 3 pellets in a T/C.

I have shot more game with 110grns by volume and less then any other load. I do like cranking the 45cal up when i get a chance.:wink:

Actually my Black Diamond XR was one of the few rifles that shot 3 pellets and a 250 grain shockwave pretty good. But it was not something I would want to hunt with.
